    Default losing the edge?

    i got my razor in the beginning of January and it was a great shave, I only have two razors and I tend to use this one the most. The last shave i had was quite uncomfortable and got a few nicks and some razor burn. Could it be time to have it honed?

    You can always buy a barber's hone on ebay and touch up the razors with 3-6 strokes on lather to bring your edges back. You can then use strops to smooth them out if you wanted.

    Like Sham said though...needs the hones!

    You didn't mention whether you have been honing your blade. If you have, it certainly does need honing. If not, I'd head to the strops first.
